What is this "rift in the global left on ecology"? A review of two books does not qualify as documentation of one.
The big rift is in the ecological movement, between reform under capitalism and socialist revolution as the only way out. One side says we cannot "wait" for socialism. The other side says we join you in struggle for any sane measures, and at the same time we do all we can to overthrow capitalism. But what will a socialist state do, you will ask. It can immediately implement many of those sane measures. Then what? You can talk about long-term fundamental reorientations, but contention between this idea and that one inevitably remains in the teapot for now. (But don't heat the teapot too much; not only does it consume energy, it generates a lot of hot air. 😉) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
